Hello friends!
My name’s Carmen and I’m a qualified Food Coach and Reiki Practitioner based in Melbourne. I have been on a quest to live a healthier lifestyle through healthy eating, Reiki, yoga, and meditation.
My own personal battle with illness led me on my journey to discover just how powerful food is in sustaining or destroying our health and wellbeing. My journey also led me to discover that our emotional state (amongst other factors) also plays an important role in our overall health.
My hope for my blog is that it be a supportive environment where you can discover something that will inspire and assist you on your own personal journey to health.
With love,
Carmen xo
